        the changes before the code is updated. They allow you to select the options you want without actually updating
        the source.</p>

    <p>The following links contain general information on coding and coding styles.</p>

    <p>
        <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indent_style" target="_blank" title="open new window"><strong>Indent Style</strong></a>

        <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_style" target="_blank" title="open new window"><strong>Programming
            style</strong></a> at Wikipedia is a set of rules or guidelines used when writing the source code for a computer
        program. It is often claimed that following a particular programming style will help programmers to read and understand
        source code conforming to the style, and help to avoid introducing errors.</p>

    <p>
        <a href="vsinstall.html" target="_blank" title="open new window"><strong>Install Instructions for .NET Framework SDK</strong></a>
        are instructions for adding x64 platforms to Visual Studio Express 2010. Express editions after 2010 have the
        x64 platforms already installed. Visual Studio 2010 is the last edition that will work on Windows XP (platform
        toolset v100). Visual Studio 2012 (platform toolset v110) and higher contains dependencies on Windows API functions
        that exist only on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8. This means that applications built with Visual Studio
        2012 and higher would fail to load and execute on Windows XP.</p>
